Chicago Trip

I recently headed to Chicago with a couple friends to go to the Renegade Holiday Craft Fair and then to the Field Museum to see the dinosaurs. On the way there we stopped at a rest stop that had these awesome posters. The first one really caught me off guard.

Here's a view looking down on one room of the craft fair. There were about five rooms. It was amazing and I did get a few Christmas gifts there. And I got to meet Donovan and Cathy from the LWA!!! Their table was actually the first one I saw.

One of the greatest parts of the craft fair was what we ate. I split two donuts with Caitlin- one was with chocolate icing and sprinkles, the other one.... oh my, was glazed with maple syrup and covered with crumbled bacon. INCREDIBLE.

After the craft fair we took the 'L' over to the field museum and saw the dinosaurs. I got to see a complete parasaurolophus for the first time. This is my favorite dinosaur. It was overwhelmingly wonderful.

Neck Data and Flying Monsters

My cousin Aaron sent me the zine that he helps make:

Neck Data. Issue #14 : Neck Dada

I'm pretty darn sure that that's his drawing on the front. It's kind of funny because his drawings really remind me of my brother's doodles and drawings that I remember from when we lived together. At one point in time it was a lot of cars and handguns. haha

I sent him back some flying monsters...

More Dinos!

I learned from the Letter Writers Alliance blog about this DINOSAUR mail art contest being given by James Gurney, author of the Dinotopia books. If you don't already know this, I LOVE dinosaurs (and so does my boyfriend)(just take a look at this dino-crush post).

I am definitely planning on sending something for this contest.

Here are a few postcards I made a few weeks ago from a snack box:
